The Global Leader in Biosimulation
Traditional drug development takes too long and costs too much. There are far too many expensive failures, especially in the clinical trial phases, where the majority of drug R&D dollars is spent.
Certara’s mission is to transform this traditional process by using biosimulation to accelerate and improve drug discovery and development. For more than two decades, we have invested in our end-to-end platform powered by biosimulation and technology to advance drug programs from discovery and development to regulatory approval and market access.

Galderma's new drug approval for acne
Learn about the Simcyp Simulator
The use of Certara’s Simcyp Simulator allowed Galderma to expedite and inform its drug development program for AKLIEF (trifarotene) Cream for the topical treatment of acne. The Simcyp Simulator also helped to provide safety label claim and pediatric dosing information WITHOUT the need for testing in clinical patients.
“We were pleased to partner with Certara to develop this detailed physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model of trifarotene, which helped to demonstrate the safety of our new drug and also provide additional prescribing information for our new drug label,” said Nathalie Wagner, Senior Clinical PK Manager at Galderma.
